My One And Only

A smooth light breeze continued to flow in through the window as both the persons in the room did not know what to say or how to start a conversation.

For Tinsley, she had so many things she wanted to ask and know from the boy who became the centre of her attention and disappeared out of nowhere.

Kian could not point out where they have met before yet as it was still a mystery to him why she always acted like they have had known each other for so so long.

“Where have you been for so long??”

“Why did you jump off the glass wall??”

The questions and their voices were heard at the same time, making them instantly lock their gazes as it was not intended to ask at the same time at all.

Kian did not understand the question directed to him. Why was she asking him where he had been as if he went missing for a long time and she found him after a very long time???

While Tinsley understood it all and contemplated whether or not to tell him why she did what she did.

But then again what was there to hold back from him. He was Kian after all. She never had secrets from him ever and she was not planning to change even when he had ghosted on her and appeared out of nowhere.

After losing everyone and having no one to rely on and to meet the only person you have yearned to see for so long makes you want to appreciate every moment of it.

Who knew what might happen next?? Tinsley thought. She was grateful that it was him who found her and not someone else.

“I… I.. uhh.. thought Josh trapped me here… again..”

Her answer to his question in the smallest whisper was heard by him and his mind took a sweet time to process what she just said.

“Josh?? You mean Josh Herrington??”

He had to make sure she was meaning the same person as he was thinking of in his mind.

“Yeah. It’s the only Josh I have known my whole life and now I wish I never knew of.”

Tinsley meekly replied, looking down, closing her eyes as flashes of him beating her on the floor reflected all over her.

Kian noticed the change in her facial structure and quickly held her hands that were resting on her lap making her to open her eyes and look back at him.

“What did he do?”

He asked and knew that whatever she was going to say next was not going to sound something good at all.

Tinsley did not know if she was ready to let it all out yet. She for the time being that she would have to carry this with her to her grave and that no one would come to know about what he had done to her and what she had gone through.

Hell, she even thought of ending her life for the first time rather than living and fighting.

How much vulnerable had he made her?? What a petty case she had turned into??

She thought and could not hold back her tears as they freely leaked out from her eyes and it was clearly visible to anyone from the outside that she was hurting inside and dying to dare and let everything out.

He could see her struggle, the battle she was fighting all alone inside her head and he wanted nothing more to do but comfort her, give her the protection she deserved.

The instinct to save her innocence the first time he saw her when she entered the party, smiling, he wanted to preserve that look on her flawless face.

He never felt so close to someone to make him want to protect them from any harm and fight all their demons away.

“You know that you can trust me right??”

He implored, making her look up at him. He had no idea why he did what he did next by extending his hand put and rubbing her eyes waters off from her red swollen face.

“I m here for you, Tinsley.”

And she could no longer hold herself back when she heard her name from his mouth for the very first time after all these times.

She threw herself on him and even though it took him by shock, he held her close to him, finding some kind of known familiar peace in her embrace.

“It feels so good to be in your arms.”

She said, smelling in his scent that was not the same anymore. He found her breathe hitting his exposed skin and he did not mind any of it.

They were hugging each other as if they were the long lost lovers, had been separated for years and then was their reunion.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“It does feel good.”

He let out too, closing his eyes and letting his guards lose for the very first time.

He knew that there was definitely something up with this girl and him somewhere in the past…. a memory he could not remember.

But everything felt so familiar, so close with her. It was as if nothing they were doing was new, they had done it all before.

Holding her so close to himself was not something new but he did a long long time ago and the only problem was that he could not remember any of it but she did and she had no idea that he did not.

Would everything change when she would come to know that he did not recall anything at all???

But now that he had her in his arms, he did not want to let go of her yet. As if his body had missed her, he pulled her more closer.

“Josh tracked me after I escaped from a stranger’s house and locked me up somewhere, I have no idea.”

She whispered near his ears, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck, afraid he would vanish off.

“What did he do next??”

“Drugged me and beat me for refusing to marry him.”

Her reply made him crawl his palm into a fist, ragging with anger and frustration.
